From the Author
The fad is over, but the love of cigars remains!
I wrote this book knowing the cigar fad, like all fads, would fade. I also knew that the heightened awareness of how great cigars are would win over many who had never enjoyed this simple pleasure. My book focused on the solid, established brands and how the best makers have crafted fine cigars for more than three centuries. I didn't rate the fad brands, as did most rating guides, because I knew they'd disappear. And they have. Nearly every brand in my book is still available, because they're the best, and made by the best! There have been several mergers in the business, but the quality and integrity of most name brands remain. And Cuban cigars are spottier than ever. So whether you're a beginner or a veteran stogie lover, I hope you'll read, enjoy, and refer to my Complete Idiot's Guide to Cigars. For a quick reference guide you can tote to your favorite cigar shop or cigar bar, check out my Pocket Idiot's Guide to Cigars, also available at Amazon.com.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought this book a couple of years ago when I first got interested in cigars. The title just seemed to fit how I felt about the subject. The information contained in this book is so widespread that you will be able to join in almost any cigar conversation. The book covers everything from where certain tobaccos are grown to what type of matches to use to light your smoke and why. After reading this book I have caught cigar retailers mistakes in telling me about their inventory. A good knowledge is necessary for buying a quality smoke and this book offers it.

Wanting to have a small part in all that he does, my friends and I found this to be helpful in understanding the lingo and "have a clue". Also, helped us be able to pick better cigars/accessories when we buy them as presents.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book turns the "Complete Idiot" into the "Complete Aficionado". Very comprehensive and extensive information provided on the many topics of Cigars. Tad Gage doesn't just say HOW things are done such as storing, cutting, lighting etc. but WHY they are done. A good read which will teach everyone, novice or expert, something new about cigars. I felt what the book needed to make it 5-star was a few more diagrams and some more colour pictures to illustrate some of its points. Nevertheless, a very good read !

Good for Americans
Whilst this is an easy and informative read for a beginner it is weak on its coverage of Cuban cigars.This is probably due to their apparent unavailability in the USA. Read more

THE "grassroots" guide to cigars
A great book for the novice. From where the tobacos are grown to the history of the men behind the blends. Read more
